Alexey,
The main issue here is why classloading (?) calls to GC under native lock.
All the rest is just a consequences.
Could you, please, show the point (file:line) where gc_alloc is called under
lock?
Oh, probably you are right. The faulty method is
Java_java_lang_VMClassRegistry_getSystemPackages()
vm\vmcore\src\kernel_classes\native\java_lang_VMClassRegistry.cpp 389-414
Will fix.

Thanks,
Pavel.
